The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The first question to be resolved by this court is whether or not a denial of receipt of the notice of cancellation creates an issue of fact where as here the policy specifically provides that the mailing of such notice ‘shall be sufficient proof of notice.’ We are of the opinion that under the authorities and the record in this case the question must be answered ‘NO.’ It was essential that appellees, in order to prevail on their motion for summary judgment, establish by evidence presented in support thereof that a notice of cancellation was mailed in conformance with the requirements of the policy. We believe they did. The affidavit of appel-lees’ employee, Jeff Jones, and other evidence in the record reflect the following: On September 8, 1966, Hartford mailed to Mr. Myron A. Hardy at 916 McCulley, Fort Worth, Texas, notice that it would cancel the policy on September 20, 1966. This notice was mailed to the address specified by Mr. Hardy in the insurance policy. Copies of the notice of cancellation and receipt from the U. S. Post Office reflecting that notice was placed in the mail on September 8, 1966, are part of the record before this court. Under the evidence the policy was cancelled and was never reinstated.””
